The 1st Encounter with the Big Brown Furry Thing...

Sunday around 1pm, Steve and Liz brought Titus back over. They had graciously been keeping him the past few days. Apparently he decided it was fun to dig a bunch holes in their backyard. Which is a little odd since he hasn't dug a hole in our yard in almost 2 years. Ironically, their dog Maggie tends to dig holes in our yard (and chew on rocks) when she stays here, but not when she is home... go figure.

Just as fair warning, this story is fairly anticlimactic, but people have been asking how Titus has responded. Anyway, when Titus first came in the house I was was holding Addelynn in one of the recliners. Titus just keep running back between Lana and I really excited to see us. I'm not sure he even realized Addelynn was there for the first 5 minutes, until one of the trips over to visit me he gave her two quick sniffs and went on about his business.

A little while after Steve and Liz left, we tried to formally introduce them. As you can see in the video, Titus really doesn't care too much. Beforehand I told people that Titus would not be shocked at all to have a baby in the house. He's been around our friends kids and the nieces/nephews plenty and he is really good with them. The real question is "what will he think when he realizes this one doesn't leave".





He has started laying by her sometimes when she is in her swing, but other than that not really too attached at this point. Grandma Rohrer sent a really cute book called "The Other Dog". It's written from a couple's dog's perspective as they brought home a newborn. It has some entertaining perspectives of 'why is the new dog different'. Anyway, its kinda funny.
